Busy October

Thanks to the moms that came out to help on Picture Day. Not only did Burks appreciate their help, but so did the photographers at Lifetouch. They gave each of the moms that volunteered one free package of photos. There are many more volunteer opportunities coming up in October with unforseen rewards and benefits!

To give teachers plenty of time for their conferences without growling stomachs, PTO is having the Teacher Appreciation Potluck Luncheon on Parent/Teacher Conference Day Monday, October 27. If you are interested in showing off your cooking or baking skills, get in touch with Judy Poe who is wonderful at coordinating all the crock pot soups, breads and desserts.

Field Day is another great opportunity for volunteers. Volunteers are needed for the morning and afternoon sessions of Field Day on Friday, October 31 (Halloween). For more info, contact Coach Klemm or Coach Hall (Did anyone see them at the Wellness Fair this weekend? We did!)

On top of that, Kinder is going on a field trip to the pumpkin patch, 3rd grade is heading to the symphony and 5th grade's camp is comping up too! Fill out those background checks now so you are ready to jump in and participate!

By now you should have seen our Fundraising Catalog floating around your house. I've already found something I want to order, a splash guard for the microwave. This is PTO's big fundraiser for the year where we get the majority of our money for school supplies and activities, from balloons and helium to author visits. All forms and money are due by September 13th.
